The competition will adopt the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and local set of rules, confirmed the Secretary- General of BAA, Adia Tawang.

Sabah head coach Ceril Yapp had already admitted difficulties to claim a three-gold target in the Brunei Track and Field Open.

Yapp said that the latest assumption was based on the fact that some of the top names from Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Singapore and Hong Kong may be taking part in the competition and that may diminish the team’s chances of their early predictions.
